Abstract:

One of the main problems our actual society faces is the shortage of water. Despite the great effort made by authorities and researchers, multiple countries with poor economic resources are experiencing serious difficulties derivative of water scarcity. Desalination provides a feasible solution for inland and coastal areas. Through literature and reviewed articles analysis the reader will meet the actual issues regarding designing a desalination plant, and more over with reverse osmosis (RO) processes, which are the main arguments of this work. One of the big deals is the environmental concern when handling the concentrate disposal. Another important point about desalination processes is the increasingly interest in coupling the units with renewable energy sources (RES). The results point out that regardless of the efforts made until today, additional achievement is required in fields such as membrane’s structure materials for RO method, concentrate disposal systems, governmental water policies review and update, and greater distinction researches between brackish water and seawater RO desalination processes. Taking into consideration the previous outcomes it is finally concluded that some particular steps must be accomplished when beginning a desalination plant design.

Abstract:
Sexualitetens historia präglas av en stor ojämlikhet beträffande sexuellt handlingsutrymme mellan kvinnor och män. Med denna studie ämnar vi att utforska eventuella ojämlikheter mellan killar och tjejers sexuella handlingsutrymme i Sverige, världens fjärde mest jämställda land enligt World Economic Forum. Vår studie bygger på två fokusgrupper med totalt 13 deltagare i åldern 16-17 år. Empirin i vår studie har analyserats utifrån ett socialkonstruktivistiskt perspektiv. Vår studie visar att samma handlingar och beteenden som ger killar status som kungar ger tjejer stämplar som horor. Studien påvisar de ideal som råder gällande hur en tjej och hur en kille ska vara. Tjejer förväntas kontrollera sin sexualitet och vara lagom, till skillnad från killar som förväntas ta större plats och få utlopp för sin sexualitet. Det framgår tydligt i vår studie att det finns stora ojämlikheter mellan tjejer och killars sexuella handlingsutrymme, där tjejers utrymme är betydligt mer begränsat än killars.
The human history of sexuality is characterized by vast inequalities regardingsexual maneuver between women and men. With this study, we intend to explorethe potential inequalities between boys and girls' sexual maneuver in Sweden, theworld's fourth most equal country. Our study is based on two focus groups with atotal of 13 participants in the age of 16-17 years old. The empirical data in ourstudy have been analyzed from a social constructivist perspective. Our studyshows that the same actions and behaviours that give boys the status of kingsgives girls rumours of being whores. Our study also demonstrates the ideals thatexists regarding how a girl and how a guy should be. Girls are expected to controltheir sexuality and not be “too much”. Boys on the other hand are expected to takemore space and act out their sexuality. Our study shows that there are greatdisparities between girls' and boys' sexual autonomy, where girls' space is muchmore limited than boys.

Full text
Abstract:
My basic concern in this thesis is to examine the details behind Dennett's attempt to reconcile the notions of mechanism and responsibility. In the main this involves an examination of how he tries to secure a compatibilism between mechanistic and intentional explanations by developing a systematised conception of intentional explanation. I begin by briefly discussing the various notions needed for understanding what is at stake in the area and where the orthodoxy on the matter lies. As such the first three sections of the work are not focussed on Dennett's work itself and playa stage-setting role for the deeper work to follow. These notions include the likes of the rationale behind attributing moral responsibility, agency and action, mechanism and mechanistic explanation, and intentional explanation. I suggest that the basic intuition regarding mechanism and responsibility is such that the two are seen to be incompatible with each other. The main reason for this lies in an intuition that mechanism undermines intentional explanation and so renders the notion of action largely empty. Action, I show, is at the heart of our attribution of responsibility and is dependent on intentional explanation. Having presented these issues, I turn to the details of Dennett's 'intentional systems theory'. I argue that Dennett attempts to avoid the intuition that mechanism is incompatible with responsibility by developing a specialised account of intentional explanation. Dennett calls it the intentional stance. r highlight the two important features of this intentional stance, namely rationality and intentionality. r show that Dennett's position on rationality and intentionality is such that it does allow him to secure an explanatory compatibilism between mechanism and his sort of intentional explanation. I argue, however, that his sort of intentional explanation does not fulfil our requirements for ascribing agency or moral responsibility. This is accomplished in part by developing alternative conceptions of the two notions. Out of this I develop a different sort of intentional stance, which I call the folk stance. I show finaIly that Dennett's compatibilist move is incapable of being applied to the folkstance from which we do in fact make attributions of responsibility, and so conclude thatDennett fails to make the case for reconciling mechanism and responsibility.

Abstract:
Historically, the Minor Planet Center (MPC) has concentrated on improving the quality of the astrometric observations and the resulting orbits of minor planets. In light of long-standing complaints in the literature about the quality of the photometric parameters for the minor planets, there has been a need to improve the quality of the absolute magnitudes, H, and slope parameters, G. However, this task is complex, as the bulk of the minor-planet magnitude estimates are suppl ied by the astrometric observers. These observations are not made through standard fillers and are made with respect to the (indifferent) magnitudes in numerous astrometric reference catalogues. Such magnitude estimates are labelled "astrophotometry", to reflect their low quality. This thesis describes a method for correcting the catalogue- and observer-specific errors present in the astrophotometry. This method was applied to more than 70 million astrometric observations with magnitude estimates. New H determinations have been made for 322 607 numbered minor planets, while new G determinations have been made for 64 348 numbered minor planets. New assumed G values have been determined for 258 259 numbered minor planets. Analysis of the results shows that the problems identified in the literature have been removed, particularly the -0.5 magnitude offset at H14 that is present in the current MPC HG data set. Implications of the new H magnitudes on the albedos determined by the WISE space mission and on the differential H distributions of various types of solar-system object are discussed.

Understanding the performance of a multi-threaded application is difficult. The threads interfere when they access the same resource, which slows their execution down. Unfortunately, current profiling tools focus on identifying the interference causes, not their effects.The developer can thus not know if optimizing the interference reported by a profiling tool can lead to better performance. In this thesis, we propose to complete the profiling toolbox with an effect-oriented profiling tool able to indicate how much interference impacts performance, regardless of the interference cause. With an evaluation of 27 applications, we show that our tool successfully identifies 12 performance bottlenecks caused by 6 different kinds of interference

Abstract:
Planet rendering plays an important role in universe visualization and geographic visualization. The recent tools and methods allow better data acquisition, usually with very high resolution. However in computer graphics, there is always the limitation on the resolution of geometry and texture due to numerical imprecision. Not many applications can handle high resolution data effectively. This thesis introduces, Implicit Surface Scene, a level of detail scene management inspired by dynamic coordinate system and SCALEGRAPH™ which change over time depending on the current camera position relative to the planet surface. Our method is integrated into Uniview and allows Uniview to render high resolution planet geometry with dynamic texture composition and with a surface positioning system that does not suffer from precision issue.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis describes efforts to improve the realism of numerical models of giant planet formation and migration in an attempt to better understand these processes. A new approach has been taken to the modelling of accretion, designed to mimic reality by allowing gas to accumulate upon a protoplanetary surface. Implementing this treatment in three-dimensional self-gravity radiation hydrodynamics calculations provides an excellent model for planet growth, allowing an exploration of the factors that affect accretion. Moreover, these calculations have also been extended to investigate the migration of protoplanets through their parent discs as they grow. When focusing on the growth of non-migrating protoplanets, the models are performed using small sections of disc, enabling excellent resolution right down to the core; gas structures and flow can be resolved on scales from ~ 10^4 to 10^11 metres. Using radiative transfer, these models reveal the importance of opacity in determining the accretion rates. For the low mass protoplanets, equivalent in mass to a giant planet core (~ 10 M⊕), the accretion rates were found to increase by up to an order of magnitude for a factor of 100 reduction in the grain opacity of the parent circumstellar disc. However, even these low opacities lead to growth rates that are an order of magnitude slower than those obtained in locally-isothermal conditions. For high mass protoplanets (>~ 100M⊕), the accretion rates show very little dependence upon opacity. Nevertheless, the rates obtained using radiative transfer are still lower than those obtained in locally-isothermal models by a factor of ~2, due to the release of accretion energy as heat. Only high mass protoplanets are found to be capable of developing circumplanetary discs, and this ability is dependent upon the opacity, as are the scaleheights of such discs. However, their radial extents were found to be independent of the opacity and the protoplanet mass, all reaching ≈ RH/3, inline with analytic predictions. Migration is investigated using global models, ensuring a self-consistently evolved disc. Using locally-isothermal calculations, it was found that the capture radius of an accreting sink particle, used to model a protoplanet without a surface, must be small (<< RH) to yield migration timescales consistent with linear theory of Type I migration. In the low mass regime of Type I migration, accreting sinks with such small radii yield timescales consistent with those models in which a protoplanetary surface is used. However, for high mass protoplanets, undergoing Type II migration, the surface treatment leads to faster rates of migration, indicating the importance of a realistic accretion model. Using radiative transfer, with high opacities, leads to a factor of ~ 3 increase in the migration timescale of the lowest mass protoplanets, improving their chances of survival. As suitable gas giant progenitors, their survival is key to understanding the growth of giant planets. An unexpected result of the radiative transfer was a reduction in the migration timescale of high mass planets. This appears to be a result of the less thoroughly evacuated gaps created by planets in non-locally-isothermal discs, which affects the corotation torque.

Abstract:

I present four papers exploring different topics in the area of characterizing the atmospheric and bulk properties of extrasolar planets. In these papers, I present two new codes, in various forms, for modeling these objects. A code to generate theoretical models of transit spectra of exoplanets is featured in the first paper and is refined and expanded into the APOLLO code for spectral modeling and parameter retrieval in the fourth paper. Another code to model the internal structure and evolution of planets is featured in the second and third papers. The first paper presents transit spectra models of GJ 1214b and other super-Earth and mini-Neptune type planets—planets with a “solid”, terrestrial composition and relatively small planets with a thick hydrogen-helium atmosphere, respectively—and fit them to observational data to estimate the atmospheric compositions and cloud properties of these planets. The second paper presents structural models of super-Earth and mini-Neptune type planets and estimates their bulk compositions from mass and radius estimates. The third paper refines these models with evolutionary calculations of thermal contraction and ultraviolet-driven mass loss. Here, we estimate the boundaries of the parameter space in which planets lose their initial hydrogen-helium atmospheres completely, and we also present formation and evolution scenarios for the planets in the Kepler-11 system. The fourth paper uses more refined transit spectra models, this time for hot jupiter type planets, to explore the methods to design optimal observing programs for the James Webb Space Telescope to quantitatively measure the atmospheric compositions and other properties of these planets.

Abstract:
Context. Radial velocity and transit methods are effective for the study of short orbital period exoplanets but they hardly probe objects at large separations for which direct imaging can be used. Aims. We carried out the international deep planet survey of 292 young nearby stars to search for giant exoplanets and determine their frequency. Methods. We developed a pipeline for a uniform processing of all the data that we have recorded with NIRC2/Keck II, NIRI/Gemini North, NICI/Gemini South, and NACO/VLT for 14 yr. The pipeline first applies cosmetic corrections and then reduces the speckle intensity to enhance the contrast in the images. Results. The main result of the international deep planet survey is the discovery of the HR8799 exoplanets. We also detected 59 visual multiple systems including 16 new binary stars and 2 new triple stellar systems, as well as 2279 point-like sources. We used Monte Carlo simulations and the Bayesian theorem to determine that 1.05(-0.70)(+2.80)% of stars harbor at least one giant planet between 0.5 and 14 MJ and between 20 and 300AU. This result is obtained assuming uniform distributions of planet masses and semi-major axes. If we consider power law distributions as measured for close-in planets instead, the derived frequency is 2.30(-1.55)(+5.95)%, recalling the strong impact of assumptions on Monte Carlo output distributions. We also find no evidence that the derived frequency depends on the mass of the hosting star, whereas it does for close-in planets. Conclusions. The international deep planet survey provides a database of confirmed background sources that may be useful for other exoplanet direct imaging surveys. It also puts new constraints on the number of stars with at least one giant planet reducing by a factor of two the frequencies derived by almost all previous works.

Desafiando a tendência de homogeneização na concepção de lugares em megacidades num mundo cada vez mais globalizado, este projecto procura encontrar pistas em traços culturais perseverantes, reiterando elementos fundamentais da identidade japonesa e, simultaneamente, construindo pontes entre múltiplas gerações. Com foco em diversos desafios paradigmáticos enfrentados por Tóquio no século XXI, e através de um retrato fenomenológico da sua sociedade singular, o presente estudo visa reinterpretar os valores ancestrais - que paradoxalmente prevaleceram face aos mais cáusticos eventos da história quando praticamente nada mais nesta cidade o conseguiu - em todos os complexos sistemas da contemporaneidade. Impulsionando a revitalização da monofuncional zona de escritórios em Nishi-Shinjuku (Shinjuku Oeste) - rastreando o seu legado e reescrevendo a sua história através da criação de lugares intergeracionais e multifuncionais onde a comunidade possa viver, trabalhar, crescer, relaxar, desfrutar, criar e interagir - estabelece-se um novo rumo numa das áreas mais segmentadas da cidade, trazendo a habitação de volta ao centro, através de tipologias habitacionais alternativas em altura. Localizado na fronteira de Nishi-Shinjuku, o Ju-Ni Quarter situa-se precisamente na margem do plano de reordenamento urbano do pós-guerra dos anos sessenta, conferindo-lhe a capacidade de interligar a zona formal de arranha-céus de escritórios com o tecido habitacional que se estende horizontalmente e de determinar até que ponto pode uma sociedade sobrepopulada, orientada para o trabalho e envelhecida beneficiar destas relações intergeracionais.
ABSTRACT: Defying the trend for homogenisation of placemaking in megacities in an increasingly globalised world, this work seeks to find clues in highly persevering cultural traits, reiterating fundamental elements of the Japanese identity and simultaneously building bridges between multiple generations. Focusing on some of the paradigmatic challenges faced by Tokyo in the 21st century, and through a phenomenological portrayal of its singular society, the present study aims to reinterpret the ancestral values - which have paradoxically prevailed through some of the most caustic events in history when barely nothing else in this city had - in all the complex systems of contemporaneity. By igniting the revitalization of the monofunctional office district in Nishi-Shinjuku (West-Shinjuku) - tracing its legacy and retelling its history through the creation of intergenerational and multifunctional places where people are able to live, work, grow, relax, enjoy, create and interact - a new path is set in one of the most segmented areas of the city, bringing housing back to the city centre in high-rise alternative dwelling typologies. Located on the border of Nishi-Shinjuku, Ju-Ni Quarter stands right by the fringe of the 1960s post-war urban redevelopment plan, giving it the ability to connect the formal high-rise office district to the low-rise sprawled residential fabric and to determine to what extent can an overpopulated, work-driven and ageing society benefit from these intergenerational relationships.

Influenciada por ambas, a releitura da rota das descobertas e a imigração de tantas partes do mundo, e o legado patrimonial construído de valor universal execional que permitiu a criação de uma rede de países com patrimônio mundial de influência portuguesa em 2006 - a rede WHPO. “1) É uma contribuição para a investigação da contingência contemporânea de crescimento e densificação, propondo através da reflexão de contextos particulares, abordagens críticas que promovam soluções que sustentem novas urbanidades emergentes.

Principalmente ilustrado por fotos tiradas no chão. Posteriormente, assume um caráter de reflexão mais geral sobre os vários paradigmas da habitação em contextos de informalidade, descrevendo as áreas de favela em geral e, de forma precisa, o caráter, os problemas e a história. Isso mostra que uma solução arquitetônica contemporânea para os problemas da Kawasan Kumuh é baseada principalmente na detecção e eliminação de processos falsos, mas é tão importante apoiar os aspectos positivos que ocorrem. Assim, a urbanização de favelas é uma das ferramentas mais importantes para ajudar e melhorar. Uma vez que as favelas e sua sociedade viva muitas vezes desenvolveram suas próprias dinâmicas, que são muito difíceis para os estrangeiros entenderem e experimentarem, é importante incluí-los no planejamento e manter essas estruturas de trabalho, conhecimento e dinâmicas positivas.
ABSTRACT: ‚Houses for a Small Planet‘ started in 2009 at CIAUD. „The 4th phase of the project is defined by the striking correlation of Portugal with the world from the earliest times until today, highlighting several countries and cities and their contemporary urban condition with Portuguese influence. Influenced by both, the rereading of the route of discoveries and the immigration from so many parts of the world, and to the patrimonial legacy built of universal execional value that allowed the creation of a network of countries with world heritage assets of Portuguese influence in 2006 - the WHPO network.“ 1) It is a contribution on the investigation of the contemporary contingency of growth and densification, proposing through reflection of particular contexts, critical approaches that promote solutions that support new emerging urbanities. The main objective of this project is the development of an integrated and sustainable facility unit for a Javanese Kawasan Kumuh (urban slum area) in Denpasar, Bali in the field of slum-upgrading. By imposing new logics and implementation strategies, it promotes, from local potentialities, solutions of integrated urban and architectural space. The work starts from the study of concrete realities: It takes an intense contemplation about Javanese society, the history of Bali and its architecture. Mainly illustrated by pictures taken on the ground. Thereafter it assumes a character of more general reflection on the various paradigms of dwelling in contexts of informality by describing slum areas in general and precisly the character, problems and history. It shows that a contemporary architectural solution to the problems of Kawasan Kumuh is mainly based on detecting and eliminating falsely running processes, but it is just as important to support the positive aspects that occur. Thus, slum upgrading is one of the most important tools to help and improve. Since slums and their living society have often developed their own dynamics, which are very difficult for outsiders to understand and experience, it is important to include them in the planning and to maintain these working structures, knowledge and positive dynamics.

This paper concerns the ideas on society, policies and economic thoughts on Ireland before the cataclysmal famine of the 1840s. Senior, classified as one of the classical economists, elaborated these in the period 1829 – 1836, thus during the period of Parliamentary reform. As a trusted counsellor of the Whig governments, Senior advocated measures opposite to the common notions of laissez-faire. His basic ideas are contrasted to those of Malthus concerning economics and, in particular, the population doctrine that Senior never believed in and in its crudest form refuted. Senior regarded Malthus’ doctrine as devastating to governmental policies. Senior wanted an efficient and strong government. Moreover, Senior evolved ideas, in fact a strategy, for raising Ireland out of her common destitution instead of institutionalizing poor laws. This strategy embraced Catholic emancipation, education, public investments in infrastructure and emigration. His ideas, and proposals akin to Senior’s, are related to the political discourse of the day, which took a more common view of laissez-faire during the period considered. Nevertheless, there is consistency in his ideas on government, public investments and laissez-faire. Senior cannot be described as anything other than an early liberal and a classical economist and, hence, an advocator of economic laissez-faire. This paper underlines the need for a clear distinction between economic laissez-faire as a concept and the concept of political laissez-faire, whereas the former concerns thoughts on economics and the latter is related to the notion of the impassivity of the period of today’s discourse.

The theory shows that it suces to compute Pisano periods for primes. We are also looking atthe same problems for the generalized Pisano period, which can be described as the Pisano period forthe generalized Fibonacci sequence.

Abstract:
Protoplanetary discs can be dynamically unstable due to structure induced by an embedded giant planet. In this thesis, I discuss the stability of such systems and explore the consequence of instability on planetary migration. I present semi-analytical models to understand the formation of the unstable structure induced by a Saturn mass planet, which leads to vortex formation. I then investigate the effect of such vortices on the migration of a Saturnmass planet using hydrodynamic simulations. I explain the resulting nonmonotonic behaviour in the framework of type III planetary migration. I then examine the role of disc self-gravity on the vortex instabilities. It can be shown that self-gravity has a stabilising effect. Linear numerical calculations confirms this. When applied to disc-planet systems, modes with small azimuthal wavelengths are preferred with increasing disc selfgravity. This is in agreement the observation that more vortices develop in simulations with increasing disc mass. Vortices in more massive discs also resist merging. I show that this is because inclusion of self-gravity sets a minimal vortex separation preventing their coalescence, which would readily occur without self-gravity. I show that in sufficiently massive discs vortex modes are suppressed. Instead, global spiral instabilities develop. They are interpreted as disturbances associated with the planet-induced structure, which interacts with the wider disc leading to instability. I carry out linear calculations to confirm this physical picture. Results from nonlinear hydrodynamic simulations are also in agreement with linear theory. I give examples of the effect of these global modes on planetary migration, which can be outwards, contrasting to standard inwards migration in more typical disc models. I also present the first three-dimensional computer simulations examining planetary gap stability. I confirm that the results discussed above, obtained from two-dimensional disc approximations, persist in three-dimensional discs.

Abstract:
The work performed here studies particle dynamics in local two-dimensional simulations of self-gravitating accretion discs with a simple cooling law. It is well known that the structure which arises in the gaseous component of the disc due to a gravitational instability can have a significant effect on the evolution of dust particles. Previous results using global simulations indicate that spiral density waves are highly efficient at collecting dust particles, creating significant local over-densities which may be able to undergo gravitational collapse. This thesis expand on these findings, using a range of cooling times to mimic the conditions at a large range of radii within the disc. The PENCIL Code is used to solve the 2D local shearing sheet equations for gas on a fixed grid together with the equations of motion for solids coupled to the gas solely through aerodynamic drag force. The work contained here shows that spiral density waves can create significant enhancements in the surface density of solids, equivalent to 1-10cm sized particles in a disc following the profiles of Clarke (2009) around a solar mass star, causing it to reach concentrations several orders of magnitude larger than the particles mean surface density. These findings suggest that the density waves that arise due to gravitational instabilities in the early stages of star formation provide excellent sites for the formation of large, planetesimal-sized objects. These results are expanded on, with subsequent results introducing the effects of the particles self-gravity showing these concentrations of particles can gravitationally collapse, forming bound structures in the solid component of the disc.

Abstract:
Many groups are trying to find faint stellar companions using a variety of techniques. The most obvious is to take long exposure pictures. Here adaptive optics (AO) is useful in correcting the blurring effects of the atmosphere. Starlight is concentrated into a tighter peak and less energy is put into the surrounding halo. Another method is to look for periodic decreases in a star's irradiance due to a planet blocking some of the light as it crosses in front of the star or transits. The most productive technique so far has been to look for periodic doppler shifts in the light coming from a candidate star, i.e. radial velocity searches. Several large planets have been found this way. This dissertation explores aspects of these three methods. The ability to detect a companion amid noise depends on the properties of the noise. While theoretical expectations exist for the properties of the halo produced by an AO system, experimental studies are few. The temporal and spatial characteristics of the halo produced by the AO system at the Starfire Optical Range are explored from the viewpoint of searching for faint stellar companions. We set limiting companion magnitudes for stars imaged while searching for brown dwarfs. The primary limitation to ground based transit searches is scintillation, irradiance fluctuations due to atmospheric turbulence. We explore reduction of this noise via differencing signals from binary stars. Theory is extended to include temporal and angular separation effects simultaneously. Evaluation of the derived equations and simulations demonstrate the benefits and limitations. Finally the design of an echelle spectrograph for use on the 6.5 m MMT or the Magellan telescope that is well suited to radial velocity searches for planets is presented. It has throughput between 10% and 18%, resolution of 200,000 per pixel and can sample the entire 0.31 to 1.1 μm range at once. This is accomplished by avoiding metallic reflections whenever possible and by using a mosaic of CCDs fit to the curved focal surface of a Schmidt camera. Efficient simultaneous observation of many spectral lines makes this a powerful instrument for radial velocity companion searches.

Abstract:
In this paper I examine the contemporary debate over Derk Pereboom’s Manipulation Argument for the incompatibility of free will and determinism. After considering the argument in its entirety, I entertain a Hard-Line compatibilist reply given by Michael McKenna, based on an improved reworking of Pereboom’s cases. In evaluating McKenna’s reply I begin with several objections raised by Ishiyaque Haji and Stephan Cuypers before arguing that the reworking of cases is unsuccessful due to a lack of freedom-undermining manipulation. I redefine the conditions for what satisfies as freedom-undermining manipulation based on a revised understanding of the process whereby agents come to evaluate their desires independently. In conclusion, I maintain that Pereboom’s argument succeeds only insofar as it satisfies an evaluative account of manipulation. However, upon doing so, Pereboom’s strategy of accounting for all desired CAS conditions fails, given that authentic evaluation cannot be manipulatively accounted for. As a result, the Manipulation Argument fails to prove the incompatibility of free will and determinism.

Abstract:
Questa tesi studia il fenomeno astronomico chiamato lente gravitazionale, in cui un oggetto massivo (lente) causa una curvatura della luce proveniente da un oggetto sullo sfondo (sorgente). Il lavoro è una ricerca bibliografica che parte da manuali di relatività generale e ne approfondisce gli argomenti con articoli scientifici più specifici e alcuni testi di presentazione di progetti pubblicati dalla NASA. Nel dettaglio si tratta il caso particolare dei fenomeni di microlensing, in cui l’effetto della lente sia piccolo e non si riesca ad individuare più di un’immagine distinta. Lo studio di questo tipo di fenomeni è molto importante nel campo della ricerca di pianeti extrasolari poiché copre un range di osservazione che non sarebbe possibile con altri metodi. Lo sviluppo dell’argomento procede partendo dallo studio della lente gravitazionale come caso generale per estrarre successivamente l’equazione ottica. Vengono poi studiati i parametri associati a quest’ultima e l’analisi dei modelli necessari per spiegare il fenomeno in esame. A ciò segue l’analisi delle caratteristiche e dei vantaggi di una ricerca planetaria di questo tipo eseguita da un telescopio orbitale. In conclusione si mostrano le caratteristiche e lo scopo di una proposta di missione spaziale presentata alla NASA per eseguire un censimento di pianeti extrasolari che possa misurare tutte le possibili distanze di ciascuno di essi dal proprio sole. In essa si rileva la necessità di dedicare una missione spaziale alla osservazione di una sezione di cielo appartenente alla costellazione del Sagittario per eseguire un censimento planetario statisticamente accurato, altrimenti impossibile a causa della bassa sensibilità dell’osservazione del cielo con un telescopio posizionato a terra e della totale mancanza di altri metodi per osservare corpi orbitanti e non orbitanti con masse così piccole.

Abstract:

The computational advances of the past several decades have allowed theoretical astrophysics to proceed at a dramatic pace. Numerical simulations can now simulate the formation of individual molecules all the way up to the evolution of the entire universe. Observational astrophysics is producing data at a prodigious rate, and sophisticated analysis techniques of large data sets continue to be developed. It is now possible for terabytes of data to be effectively turned into stunning astrophysical results. This is especially true for the field of star and planet formation. Theorists are now simulating the formation of individual planets and stars, and observing facilities are finally capturing snapshots of these processes within the Milky Way galaxy and other galaxies. While a coherent theory remains incomplete, great strides have been made toward this goal.

This dissertation discusses several projects that develop models of star and planet forma- tion. This work spans large spatial and temporal scales: from the AU-scale of protoplanetary disks all the way up to the parsec-scale of star-forming clouds, and taking place in both contemporary environments like the Milky Way galaxy and primordial environments at redshifts of z ~ 20.

Particularly, I show that planet formation need not proceed in incremental stages, where planets grow from millimeter-sized dust grains all the way up to planets, but instead can proceed directly from small dust grains to large kilometer-sized boulders. The requirements for this model to operate effectively are supported by observations. Additionally, I draw suspicion toward one model for how you form high mass stars (stars with masses exceeding ~ 8 Msun), which postulates that high-mass stars are built up from the gradual accretion of mass from the cloud onto low-mass stars. I show that magnetic fields in star forming clouds thwart this transfer of mass, and instead it is likely that high mass stars are created from the gravitational collapse of large clouds. This work also provides a sub-grid model for computational codes that employ sink particles accreting from magnetized gas. Finally, I analyze the role that radiation plays in determining the final masses of the first stars to ever form in the universe. These stars formed in starkly different environments than stars form in today, and the role of the direct radiation from these stars turns out to be a crucial component of primordial star formation theory.

These projects use a variety of computational tools, including the use of spectral hydrodynamics codes, magneto-hydrodynamics grid codes that employ adaptive mesh refinement techniques, and long characteristic ray tracing methods. I develop and describe a long characteristic ray tracing method for modeling hydrogen-ionizing radiation from stars. Additionally, I have developed Monte Carlo routines that convert hydrodynamic data used in smoothed particle hydrodynamics codes for use in grid-based codes. Both of these advances will find use beyond simulations of star and planet formation and benefit the astronomical community at large.

Abstract:
A large amount of image datasets are publicly available online through the web map service standard. The contents of the datasets span from satellite imagery of the earth and other planets of our solar system to various scientific data. This thesis presents an implementation of a planet renderer streaming high resolution image and height data from online datasets. The planet renderer uses a level of detail technique based on nodes connected by a quad tree data structure. The level of detail is determined by the size of the nodes in screen coordinates which ensures a sufficient texel to pixel ratio of the image data and a reasonably consistent polygon size in screen space. The project will be implemented in Uniview which is an application developed by SCISS AB and is primarily used in planetarium domes to visualize the Universe. Being able to visualize the high resolution image data and scientific measurements in a dome environment will provide the viewers a greater perspective of the data.

Full text
Abstract:
I examine the effects on planetary system formation of radiatively inefficient disc models where positive corotation torques may counter the rapid inward migration of low-mass planets driven by Lindblad torques. I use N-body simulations coupled with algorithms to model the evolution of the gas disc, type I migration, gap formation and type II migration, planetary atmospheres that enhance the probability of planetesimal accretion by protoplanets, gas accretion on to forming planetary cores and gas disc dispersal. The inclusion of entropy and vorticity related corotation torques can lead to a net positive torque thus giving rise to outward migration of planets. This can allow larger planets to survive for a longer period of time, allowing some planets to accrete enough gas within the lifetime of the disc to undergo runaway gas accretion thus forming gas giant planets. I review the current status of extrasolar planet observations and the methods with which these observations are made, and provide a contextual review of the theory of planet formation. Using these models, I have successfully formed a number of gas giant planets with semi-major axes ranging from 0.1 AU up to 75 AU and masses from 100 Earth masses through to 700 Earth masses, as well as a large number of terrestrial sized planets. In later simulations, a large number of super-Earth, Neptune-mass and gas planets that are too small to be considered giants were formed also.

Full text
Abstract:
The inner regions of discs around close binary systems are dominated by tidally truncated eccentric cavities. These are believed to play a key role in dictating where planets formed in these circumbinary discs halt their disc-driven migration. In this thesis we present work examining processes which could impact the evolution and structure of this region, and the planets which interact with it. First, we investigate the role of self-gravity and disc-mass on circumbinary discs and planets. The greatest impact of self-gravity was found in discs around highly eccentric binaries, and in discs with high masses. In these cases, self-gravity acts to compact the scale of the inner cavity region. For the highest disc masses, additional eccentric features arise in the outer disc. A range of scenarios examining planetary migration, accretion and disc dissipation find that if planets form and evolve in a high-mass environment, the disc structures formed by self-gravity can leave a fingerprint on the planetary architecture once the disc has dissipated. We also significantly modify the publicly available fargo-adsg hydrodynamical code, to include radiative effects such as disc irradiation by the binary stars, radiative transport and disc surface cooling. We present preliminary results of simulations of adiabatic circumbinary discs with these effects included, and consider also the migration of protoplanets within them. Fully radiative discs produce a smaller inner cavity than obtained in previous isothermal models - a promising result for the end point of planet migration in these discs. Whilst we have found significant alteration of the circumbinary enviroment by self-gravity and radiative effects, future simulations that capture the 3-D nature of these discs will be required to fully describe the observed architecture of the circumbinary systems.

The intent of my master's thesis is two-fold. First, I wanted to present a largescale work for orchestra that showcased the skills and craft I have developed as a composer (and orchestrator) to date. Secondly, since my goal as a composer is to work in Hollywood as a film composer, I wanted my large-scale work to function as a film score, providing the emotional backbone and highlighting action for a major motion picture. In order to achieve this, I needed a film that was both larger-than-life and contained, in my opinion, an easily replaceable score (or no score at all). After considering and viewing several different films of various genres, the 1956 MGM sci-fi classic Forbidden Planet seemed to be the perfect choice.
